The Foundation selected the Companion Power Assist for its proven ability to increase mobility and improve community access for individuals using manual wheelchairs. The Canadian-made device quickly connects to a manual wheelchair to deliver on-demand power.

"I've been places and seen people I hadn't seen in twelve years thanks to my Companion," said Dave Valentini, one of the recipients. "I don't have to worry anymore about going places I can't get back out of. It's a game-changer."

This initiative directly supports the Foundation's mission to create a more inclusive and accessible community by providing tools that improve quality of life and participation in society for residents with mobility challenges.

"Our focus as a Foundation is to make Richmond Hill a barrier-free and fully inclusive community. We are thrilled to be partnering with Cheelcare on this initiative, as the Companion power assist perfectly aligns with our vision of accessibility. By reducing mobility barriers, this technology will allow recipients to participate more fully in community life. We are also grateful for the support of MQ, Physical Therapist at Neurocore Physiotherapy & Pilates Centre, who helped us identify residents who can benefit from this program, and we extend our thanks to our partners at CSRO [Canadian Spinal Research Organization] for their ongoing support and resources." Andrew Fisher, Chairman, Richmond Hill Mobility Accessibility Foundation.

For Cheelcare, the recognition of Companion as the product of choice by a community foundation reinforces the company's role in advancing assistive mobility technologies.

"I was honoured when the Foundation chose Companion to support residents in our community," said Eugene Cherny, CEO of Cheelcare. "This is a meaningful validation that what we've created is truly making an impact—helping people live more active, independent lives, just as we intended."

The global market for mobility aids continues to expand as aging populations and disability prevalence rise. Locally, initiatives such as this donation illustrate how innovative products like Companion are not only improving individual mobility but also demonstrating their broader social value.
